The Heights of Londo [OOC 2] - What? OOC is evolving!

[tgva8889]

Does Alyssa know what a Rotom is? Let's find out!

Edu: Poke (2d6)[8]

I'm gonna go with "she knows it's a Pokemon and by context that it's probably Electric-type"? Not sure how good rolls are in this system.

[Comissar]

Now, I know it's unprecedented, but I just want to confirm that Leah did just suggest going pokémon catching in a pokémon game

That works for me.

You're a loose cannon, Comissar.

[tgva8889]

I am totally down for actually catching Pokemon. Or at least trying to.

[Hazuki]

If y'all like Pokemon so much, maybe you should interact with the ones you have.

[tgva8889]

It'll happen eventually! Alyssa promised!

[Comissar]

If y'all like Pokemon so much, maybe you should interact with the ones you have.

In my defense, it's proving really tricky to think of places and things for Saura to do while Leah interacts with people directly

[Hazuki]

Clearly, we need a subplot about Saura and Luna helping Knotte mack on ladies.

[tgva8889]

I am down for a Pokemon side-episode.

[Hazuki]

Just FYI, Rana wasn't self-harming. Her tanking a lightning hit was an adrenaline high. She got hurt this time because of Rotom interfering with it. Not sure if I'd made that clear and there seems to be some confusion.

[tgva8889]

That's kinda what I figured, but I think I wrote what I meant unclearly so I'll edit it.

[Hazuki]

For a Pokemon subplot, I'm guessing you'd want it as part of the main thread? What would you like it to involve?

[tgva8889]

I'm not sure. It'd have to be something that happens during a time when Alyssa and Leah would be busy but also not in any need of their Pokemon friends for some time. I suppose more comedy would probably be better?

[Comissar]

Probably bad timing for Leah to ask here given Rana's just been talking about losing family, but in her defense, she was outside the room during that part of the conversation

Light hearted side adventure with Saura and Luna sounds good to me, may need to wait until after helping Rana catch something, though? Unless she's bed ridden for a long stretch.

[Hazuki]

When do y'all want to timeskip to? My first instinct is to the Pokemon catching, like, when you're just setting out and figuring it out. I'll let you have bought Pokeballs or whatever if you need them.

[Comissar]

I'd say straight to the catching/setting out to do the catching would make sense. Leah does still have some pokéballs still, so she can provide a few (I want to say 5)

[tgva8889]

Skipping to the catching also seems good to me. Alyssa has 5 Basic Balls on her, I suppose we should go get some more before we set out. I'm kind of excited for Alyssa to actually get to use some of her catching abilities!

If this is anything like the video games, Rana will just catch her first Pokemon on her first try, so no problem!

[Hazuki]

Oh, good news, there's an official Gen 7 Pokedex. Gen 7 Pokemon for all!

[tgva8889]

Hooray! More Pokemon to add to my wishlist!

[Hazuki]

Just to clarify, the Solosis is above the PC girls, not the twins.

[Comissar]

So, I was going to make some initiative rolls and look into attack stuff for this IC post, forgot that I don't have access to the books anymore as they were on my old laptop. I might have missed them during my quick skim of the threads, but could either of you shoot me a link/remind me which version of PTU we're using?

[Hazuki]

We're using 1.05, according to the PDFs I have.

[tgva8889]

I don't think initiative rolls are even a thing, I think it's mostly just done by raw Speed stat comparison, right? Should we just start acting in turn order?

Also just so my mental image is correct, is this Pokemon a Solosis? Alyssa probably wouldn't know that, but that was my first guess.

[Hazuki]

Yah.

I've said it's a Solosis a few times, so..no, it's a Charizard.

[tgva8889]

I'm a derp, don't worry about it.

What is actual turn order? I remember at once point I figured it out for Alyssa, Leah, and all their Pokemon at the time, but I don't remember where that is. Also I don't think we know what Rana's Speed is.

Edit: I found the last list I made! I think I'm missing some Pokemon and I don't remember if we leveled up in between when I last made the list and now, but here's what I got:
12 - Alyssa
11 - Athe
10 - Sable
8 - Saura
7 - Leah
1 - Luna

I couldn't find stats for Sable anywhere.

[Hazuki]

Rana goes first, because her class is nothing but Speed. but she's passing her turn to wait for guidance. Solosis will go last, because that's convenient for me and they're slowww.

[tgva8889]

I love how slow Luna is compared to Alyssa when Luna tries to protect Alyssa from stuff.

Edit: I hope talking is a free action.

[Comissar]

I've been using my first post in the original OoC to keep my sheets up to date (which does mean the link in the first post of this one is inaccurate).

Also, just a heads up, as of this coming Friday, I'll be away from home until the following Monday. I'm not expecting to have no internet, but I may not be online as much as usual.

[tgva8889]

Ah, I found it here. Thanks Comissar! From that I got Sable's speed as 10, which I'll add to the Initiative Chart.

Also given that Alyssa did all her actions this turn, I'm not sure if she can actually let Solosis out of the net, but she will if Rana wants her to.

[Hazuki]

Sorry if Rana's being super dismissive of Alyssa's efforts, here. I do think it makes more sense for her to borrow a Pokemon to beat her first one, and y'know, y'all can get some Pokemon too! Even gives you an excuse to use Athe while Rana borrows Luna.
